"Log into wifi it sends the ip address of your location to amazon..."

You have no option now but to return the Kindle to Amazon. When you turn the Kindle Fire on and log into WiFi it sends the IP address of your location to Amazon. If you attempt to register it Amazon collects your name and address and sends it to the rightful owner. The owner may elect to contact you or the police. Your best bet is to just contact Amazon and send it back. Amazon takes this serious as the Kindle is essentially a mobile cash register to their site. They do not want unauthorized users of a customers Kindle!

Someone said: I found one in a rental car - amazon told me they cannot contact the owner and give them my information and they cannot give me the owners information so while they were thankful for my honesty, that I can just keep the kindle... however, it is blacklisted so I can only surf the internet with it....

Someone said: If the Kindle has not been reported stolen with a police report attached, Amazon considers it "sold" to a new owner. Until the old Owner deregisters the device it cannot be registered or returned. If the owner reports it "lost" or "stolen" then Amazon Blacklists the device!

Someone said: I was scammed by a craigslist vendor to. I called amazon they would not take the kindle off my hands. I told them that if I was the owner I would want amazon to get my kindle back if they were presented with the opportunity. They insisted I take the kindle back to the seller and get my money back.Amazon Sufis. They will pay return shipping for a .99 cent cable but then sit on their hands when someone tries to do the right thing.

Someone said: i bout a blacklisted kindle fire on ebay and it wont let me register, therefore i cant download apps or games. I made an account on 4share and i can get some games. that is really annoying to do though. i was wondering if i rooted it, would it let me register then. I dont wont to send it back to amazon or the old owner. I paid $130 so im not just going to give it away. What can i do to register it?

Someone said: Same with me. I am not about to be out of pocket. My was rwported blacklistwd as well and it ifs not fair to the onrs who vuy these devic es from others who dip wrong . What can we so about thus? Nothing !!!

Someone said: I bought my kindle from Craigslist and had no problem with registering. The difference was the previous owner 'deregistered' the kindle on Amazon. Make sure when buying these that the owner deregisters the K.

felixs12 said: I found a Kindle but Amazon would not inform the owner about this. So I went ahead and created a website in order to give people the possibility to exchange contact data in case they find or lose a Kindle: kindlereunion.com

Someone said: Same thing happened to me. Amazon refused either to give me the contact info of the original owner or to inform the original owner that the kindle had been found. They just said (3 different phone operators) that my best bet was to take it back to they guy that sold it to me and ask for a refund....Sometimes it is not possible to do the right thing, so please refrain to post this self righteous comments.

Someone said: Seems to be the same story everywhere. I offered to pay all cost of returning the Kindle to the owners but Amazon declined. I`m out $100. But was willing to do the right thing. Ill try the reunion website. Its worth a shot.

Well if you are going to use computer locally to transfer books then that would be fine. As long as the kindle is usable locally then you can do that. Again just do not connect it to the internet as the kindle server might locked your account if they will be able to detect your device.
